Oolongs are my all time favorite. I may have a pot of Oolong before eating or after eating but I would never want to have anything going across my taste buds near the same time. It would just ruin the experience.

On the 7th day of CNY I celebrated Lo Hie in Jing Dian with copious cups of Oolong. Whilst tossing the food with Chopsticks we all had to shout Yee Sang or something similar which was translated as "money comes" or "bring me wealth"

On 9th day of CNY I celebrated it again in Se Chen tea shop slightly different foods and no shouting, the difference was explained as different nationalities vary the ritual and the name.

this dough is made of wheat flower, butter, sugar and eggs. I added a little german packet of baking powder too, otherwise the ingredients are local this time.Family and friends who live in UK and Germany do often send stuff that's hard to come by round here so I'm not all that limited by whats available locally.
